Do I have anxiety or is it just life

[GD-K]

I constantly worry. For years and years there's always been something that has dominated my thoughts and everyday life. I always think that once that is resolved everything wil be OK. As soon as it is something else comes along. All the problems tend to revolve around my business and with that there are always major problems to deal but should they realy dominate my life and thoughts to this degree and make my life so very unhappy.

Recently I have been diagnosed with CLL. A type of leukemia. In addition to leaving me with a very low Immune system I am always chronically tired. Absolutely drained. This makes it even harder to deal.with the anxiety and really hard to deal with the problems that are causing my anxiety.. I just don't have the energy to help myself.

I found this site as a result of trying to find information about the leukaemia. That has been helpful by simply showing you're not alone. I'm just praying that there may be someone in this section that understands and may be able to provide some tips on how to deal with my constant worrying and negative thoughts.

I shoud probably also say that I have. spoken to doctors on and off for twenty years and had all types of medication none of which has helped. Indeed it makes me feel worse.

Help.

Hello

The stress of life can cause anxiety but if it is taking over your every thought then I would say it has crossed the line from normal anxiety what every human feels to anxiety that has become an illness for a better word

You have a lot going of and it can come down to trying to reverse the way we think which is easier said than done and reading your post some kind of therapy or Counselling could be a bigger help than medication if that has not worked

Your physical condition if you look in Find a Community and put in leukaemia , I am sure there will be sites on here that can give you good advise on how to deal with living with leukaemia

You are not alone though with your anxiety and sometimes we don't have all the answers we are still trying to work it out ourselves but what we do have is understanding and a listening ear and knowing someone who understands how you feel can go a small way in helping us and making us feel we are the only one's that feel the way we do

If you need to chat just pop on as well as looking at the other Communities , the more help and understanding we can get the better

Take Care x

Hi GD-K my Mum said that some guy said to her that life was just one problem after another and unfortunately there is alot of truth in this statement that said it doesn't mean there aren't good times too , so there is no point worrying rather be ready and prepared although that is easier said than done

Have you heard about turmeric being good for leukemia? It is scientifically proven I think , in India they noticed that street kids never got leukemia and it is because they consumed turmeric every day in the lentil dhal they ate

There are other communities on here that are very supportive - depression and anxiety might be worth looking at

Hope you health improves and you are able to accept and relax more
